Can anyone share their experience breeding Tessera to Tessera?
I remember reading somewhere that there has not been a homogeneous Tessera proven and that the theory is that homozygous Tessera die during egg development. Has anyone heard this before or has any info they can share? Thank you.”

There have been a few Homo Dominant Tessera's proven, and I have not heard of any reports of them dying in egg.

In 2015 I paired a Miami Tessera X Miami Tessera. I sold most of the clutch, and asked buyers to let me know if they produced 100% Tesseras.
Some have not produced clutches yet, due to life, work, etc.
I tested a couple from the clutch, and one of my holdbacks produced 100% Tessera's.
I have one more here that I will be testing.
 
Hi Frank!

I bred a non-tessera to a tessera and got all tesseras. You can see the thread here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147160

It is quite likely that the male is a homo, or super tessera. I sold him back to Don @ SMR where I originally got him from and he will continue to prove out his genes. In conversations with Don, he states that it is rare, but there are homo, or super, tesseras.
